I have been woodworking for a couple years, mostly self taught.

I am not very interested in the "art" side of woodworking, rather how to make furniture, cabinets, chests, etc.

I have a small shop (less than 200 sq feet) in my 3rd bay garage. All my power tools are mobile on wheels so I can move them around as needed.

At this time I think I have a pretty good selection of tools so I am focusing on building, reading, etc.

I am a professional salesman in the high-end computer hardware / software business.

I live in SW Idaho.

I think "Fine Woodworking" web site and magazine are very good and recommend them to people interested in woodworking.

The biggest learning curve I have as a new woodworker is finding relevant information that is not opinion but fact.

Re: Last-Minute Gifts for Woodworking Dads

Oh anything from the grandkids would be great. Working in the shop pounding nails or painting a toolbox, a day with them is like taking a year of stress off your life.

But I suppose if money were not an issue:
